[Bomb Squad RNG]

 

I'm just curious... did this answer your question?

Yes.

[TIA Sound Question]

Can someone clearly explain the bit pattern for TIA audio distortions 2 and 3? This is what I know so far:

 

Distortion 2: 001010000111011->0100000000000000000100000000000 (465 bits long)
Distortion 3: 001010000111011->0010110011111000110111010100001 (465 bits long)

 

These are named "DIV31_POLY4" and "POLY5_POLY4" in the tiasound.c document.

What exactly is going on here?

 

 

Also, I noticed that distortion 11 is called "POLY5_POLY5", even though it makes no sound (same as distortion 0). Any reason that name was chosen? The only reason I can think of is that it matches up with distortions 2, 3, and 10:

2 = "DIV31_POLY4"

3 = "POLY5_POLY4"

10 = "DIV31_POLY5"

11 = "POLY5_POLY5"

[Bomb Squad RNG]

Does anyone know how the RNG works on Bomb Squad? It would be interesting to know the RNG iteration algorithm, as well as how it generates 1-digit, 2-digit, and 3-digit codes for the game.
